Autumn In New Hampshire
Autumn has to be one of the world’s most beloved times of year, and for good reason; cooler temperatures and vibrant colors combine to make one of Earth’s most magical seasons. As an American, autumn is also special because it marks the beginning of our country’s most holiday filled period, with a major holiday taking place in October, November, and December. It’s just a great time of year, filled with great weather, gorgeous scenery, and...
Mt Mitake Rock Garden
I think this may be my favorite photo from my recent hike around Mt. Mitake. It took me a while to get around to the best parts of the rock garden (ロックガーデン) as I spent a lot of time at Nanayo waterfall and other areas earlier on in the hike.

The main reason it took so much processing is that I didn’t expose for the shot as I should have. Check out the three exposures I used for today’s photo: As you can see,...

To me it makes the trip more worth while, but it also shows more of what it’s like to experience the sight itself. I’m guessing this isn’t one of the most traditional shots of Kegon Falls, but perhaps that’s part of the reason I like...
